Just replaced my turbo. Van runs, but is struggling power-wise on the low end. It can get up to and move at highway speeds, but it's struggling at the low end. Acceleration is slow, the transmission doesn't seem to want to downshift and the gas pedal...

I’m looking for a set of new headlights, left one has a crack, right one has the insides pretty much rotted away from sitting outside somewhere in BC. Would be ok with non DOT as I’m in Oregon. Or a lead on a new set?

Yeah get the LHD version.

I’ll be watching as I’d love to not blind other drivers. I already get flashed a lot as other drivers think I’m high beaming them.

*Post up what you did to/in/with your Delica today from mods to oil change to driving to teh beach to hauling wood. Stealing this thread idea from Minitrucktalk.com as it is an entertaining thread that just keeps going and going and going...

Excellent idea to bypass the power window relay! This has bugged me since I bought Wilson. After figuring it was too much of a contortion act to try to fit a jumper up under the dash, I pulled the relay, opened it up (just unbent the metal indents and it pulls apart) and pulled out the spring, post...

When I bring the '97 SpaceGear into reverse it will back up for a bit but as soon as I really try speed up the gear comes loose and does not engage again till the van has slowed down enough, then i can feel it re-engage the reverse gear. I just had all the axel oils replaced and tranny oil and it...

Matt Not normal to have the N and R lit at the same time. Possibly your transmission ECU. Could try disconnecting and cleaning the leads with a good electrical contact cleaner. All your other shifting is fine?

Poochike: Thanks for the info about the lights. All other shifting is fine. Will look...

Went a little overboard on the awning. This is a 10'1" awning, projects 8'2". I used the brackets KIT VW T3. Worked good, just had to modify the small Z shaped bracket into a longer L shaped bracket. Waiting on some nutserts so I can wall mount it to the Delica. And it will eventually...

Thanks for the quick response and info. Yeah I'm leaning more towards the roof rack option just to keep it easier I think. Nice pop top! Thanks again!

Hello, I am new to Delicas. Just picked one up this month. 1988 P23V l300 petrol 2.0 liter 5 speed manual, double door cargo van version with tie downs in the back and fold up one row rear seat with 29,000 miles on the odometer.

As I was backing into my garage I notice I was leaving a trail up the driveway. Looked at the instrument panel and everything looked normal. I thought maybe it was water from the rain we had earlier, there was a puddle at the end of the driveway. I walk around the van and it looks like BP had...

I was up in Clearwater BC a couple of weekends ago, which is half way between Vancouver and Edmonton. On Sunday morning, I filled up with diesel before getting on the highway to drive home to Vancouver, and another patron flagged me down as I was pulling away from the pump: "Hey, you've got a...

My Delica is a summer vehicle, therefore I don't use the windshield vent very often. The problem I am having is that I have no airflow to the windshield vents (almost zero). A couple of years ago I posted a topic for low airflow to the face vents. By accident I solved that...

Update:

Everything is apart now and it doesn't look pretty. The air distribution box is on the garage floor now and ready to be disassembled.

The only good news at this point is that the plastic shaft that is broken runs through the unit for either right or left drive. If I'm lucky I can...

I'm going to document my modifications on the new to me Townace. I hope someone finds it interesting. A couple of specs - 2000 Toyota Townace, 5 speed manual, full time 4x4, 2.2 diesel no turbo, 70,000 kms a former municipal vehicle. Motor is rated at 125 hp so a bit more than the 4d56T of course...

35C in the shade, what better time to get ready for winter? I strapped a short shovel onto the passenger side along with some traction matts I found.

I was recently looking at a van and talking to the seller about having made trips up to BC looking for a Delica, noting that they were much cheaper than the vans available in the states.

He said that if I bought a van in Canada, I would also have to pay the 12% sales tax for the sale when I went...

simple. you can probably get your tax back if you can call icbc how to do it.
will be long process i guess
i dont know how to do it.
cheers

I just replaced my dead alternator in my 1991 Delica L300 P35W with a remanufactured one and I ended up with a wire that I don't know what to do with. I connected (all the obvious ones on the alternator) the main "terminal" connection, a connection with the rubber gasket over it, and the...

Last post

Thanks, i’ll check that. Makes sense as I thought there were only three main connections to the alternator.

The thread in the frame of one of the 2nd row seats in my L300 is stripped and needs re-threading (tapping?).

Anyone know of a machinist or anyone who can assist in the Vancouver BC area?

Shouldn't be too hard to tap it yourself. What size bolt was in there? Buy a tap for the next size up and give it a try. Canadian Tire has ok tap and die sets and they come in handy. Best to buy on sale of course. You could go to the next size up in SAE so you don't have to do any drilling. Check...
